I have two hard disks on my PC/XT clone.  One is an ST-238R and the
other is an ST-251N (SCSI).  Currently my PC boots off the 238.  I
would like to fix it so that I boot off the 251.  I have tried putting
the jumper for the 238 in the Drive 2 position, but that only produced
a 1701 error on bootup.  (Well, it did boot off the 251, but that's not
quite how I want it...  :-)  )  I looked at the addresses for the 2
drives using debug.  The 238 is at C800 and the 251 is at CA00.  I am
assuming that whichever drive is at C800 is the one booted from.  Is
this true?  If so, how do I switch the 2 addresses to boot from the 251?
If I end up having to reformat both drives, that's okay because I do have
current backups.
